Create Realistic Images and
Graphics
The following topics are not printed, but can be found in the Help system.
“Work with Raster Images in AutoCAD Drawings”
You can view and manipulate raster images and associated file paths in drawings
created with AutoCAD.
“Draw 2D Isometric Views”
The Isometric Snap/Grid mode helps you create 2D images that represent 3D
objects.
“Choose and Refine Objects for Use in 3D Images”
When performing hidden-line, shading, and rendering operations on 3D objects,
AutoCAD treats different surfaces in different ways.
“Hide Lines or Shade 3D Objects”
You can create a hidden-line representation or a simple shaded picture of the
objects displayed in the current viewport.
“Render 3D Objects for Realism”
You can add lighting and materials to the surfaces of 3D objects to produce
realistic effects.
